NEASE LENGTHEN thy cords and strengthen thy stakes. In these striking words, the Prophet reminds us that any institution which is building for the future must reckon with two principles. First of all, due considera- tion must be given to solidity of foundation, the stakes must be strengthened. Again, an attitude of aggres- sive achievement must assure a lengthening of the cords. The friends of Eastern Nazarene College feel that upon the basis of both these principles, the future of this institution is secured. Our beloved College is founded in the evangelical interpretation of the gospel and in the affections of those who are set for the defence of the Gospel throughout the Eastern section of the United States. There is not the slightest tendency in the mind of anyone who is officially connected with the college to deviate from the doctrines of evangelical Christianityg and so long as the foundation of God standeth sure, the foundation upon which we are builded is assured. Our place in the hearts of those who are committed to the blessed truth of full salvation is more firm now than ever before. Not only is the quality of the support accorded Eastern Nazarene College the best in its history, but the steadily increasing number of those who are interested is a source of great satisfaction to the administrative offices. Like an army rallying to the standard of a vital cause, our constituency is extending its lines throughout the land. The spirit of Eastern Nazarene College has always been one of aggressiveness, but quite naturally that aggres- siveness has not been so much in evidence during the period of the establishment of the College as it must now be since our perpetuity is no longer an experiment. The expression of this dynamic is, at present, taking the form of what is known as The Forward Movement. This Movement has two major phases: the one consists of a drive for new buildings and more and better equipment, while the other will express itselfin the effort to obtain monies which may be used for permanent endowment. The Building Program has already gathered momentum. Under the able leadership of Dr. John F. Knapp in the Held, the friends of the College have pledged sufficient money to warrant the erection of a modern Administration Building. This structure, to be known as The Fowler Memorial Building in honor of Dr. Charles Fowler, one of the foremost leaders of the Holiness Movement that New England has ever produced, will have a total Hoor area of twenty thousand feet, to be de- voted to administrative oHices, departmental offices, library, laboratories and class rooms. It is to be an expres- sion of our college ideal and will incorporate facilities to care for a college registration of five hundred students. This structure is to be architecturally pleasing, and will give the students who throng its halls ajustifiable satis- faction in their Alma Mater that will stimulate them to diligent effort for educational accomplishment. Let me again emphasize briefly the outstanding achievements which this building will realize. Here will be a library, adequate in every respect, with a capacity of more than 50,000 volumes. The laboratories are to be liberally ample for every course which a College of Liberal Arts should be expected to offer. Class rooms will be well lighted, well ventilated and furnished with standard equipment throughout. Each departmental head is to have an office, and the instructors in scientific subjects are to have private laboratories. The administra- tive offices have been arranged with the most meticulous care and will be provided with filing systems conducive to the highest efiiciency. Rest rooms for both men and women will be conveniently located in the building. Altogether this is to make a college edifice ofstriking appearance and of permanence. Of the second phase of the Forward Movement, I will write but briefly. VVe are making a definite drive toward a permanent endowment. Buildings alone do not assure the perpetuity of an institution, this requires a steady and dependable income. Rev. George W. Fuller, who has recently begun his work as Executive Field Secretary for the College and who will be authorized to accept funds for any phase of our work, is nevertheless making his primary object the raising of endowment money. Our objective will be a permanent endowment of 33oo,ooo within the next three years. It will take the united effort of all our constituency to make these plans bring forth fruit in the ways above mentioned. And as we work together we may be assured that the Lord for whom we labor will attend our efforts, and will send to our campus an increasing host of young people who may be disciplined mentally and cultured spiritually for the work of His Kingdom to the ends of the earth.

X f iff!! 'Est Ns JOHN F. KNAPP, AM., D.D. Execufive Field Secretary Dr. Knapp might be called the foster father of our Forward Movement. At the time of his taking up the work of field secretary, plans for the new administration building had already been formed, yet his has been the energy that has urged them toward completion. On the eve of the termination of his connection with the College, Dr. Knapp witnesses the success of his efforts toward one goal in the empowering of the College by the Commonwealth to grant the degree of Bachelor of Arts. A man of versatility and originality hard to equal, Dr. Knapp has had to cope with odds which any who have entered upon a campaign of the sort can well appreciate, odds in the form of un, avoidable interruptions and illness and sorrow at home. He leaves us to return to the evangelistic field and the active ministry, and is succeeded as field secretary by Rev. George W. Fuller, formerly attached to Asbury College and more recently to Houghton College. During the short time he has been with us, from May, 1929, until April, 1930, in spite of his long absences from the school in the work of the Forward Movement, we of Eastern Nazarene College have come to respect and have unbounded confidence in Dr. Knapp. We pray for God's richest blessing upon him and his work in the future.
